The advantage of giving students IPods is that they will be able to use them conveniently wherever they go. Many families are extremely busy these days and if your child can fit there textbook ie IPod in their pocket while their running errands with their parents they will be able to access information without having to carry around heavy books. By brining IPods into the classroom they will be able to add many new elements into the curricula by integrating audio and video content including speeches, interviews, artwork, music, and photos to bring lessons to life. Currently society is becoming more dependent on technology, it is only fair to prepare students for this by updating the way we teach them. There is nothing wrong with wanting to spend money in order to invest in our children's future and although Michigan's economy is weak, it would improve the our education sector.
